Another example concerns rationality; formal general equilibrium models assume strong rationality; many applied policy models assume bounded rationality when that assumption provides a better ﬁt with the data. Akerlof (1993)’s cognitive dissonance model of interrelationships and Solow (1990)’s sociological model of the labor market are examples. Yet another example is in ﬁnance where psychological assumptions are replacing strong rationality assumption.
